What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimThis study aims to investigate the influence of fatigue and mood disturbances in Spanish long-COVID patients and to establish relationships between these factors and other clinical manifestations.
methodA descriptive correlational study was conducted using a self-administered online questionnaire. The sample was obtained through non-random convenience sampling, comprising 374 participants from various regions of Spain. Data collection occurred between July 2, 2022, and November 30, 2022. The questionnaire collected demographic information and inquired about symptomatology as well as self-perception of health status. Validated scales, namely the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and the Scale for Mood Assessment (EVEA), were utilized.
resultsThe non-random sample consisted of 374 participants from diverse regions of Spain, of whom 79.9% were women. Over 70% of participants reported fatigue, while the EVEA revealed high scores in sadness-depression (4.94 ± 2.82) and anxiety (4.57 ± 2.88). Significant relationships were identified between fatigue and mood disturbances and neurological, psychological, locomotive, and pain symptoms.
conclusionsGiven the impact of the syndrome on psychological, social and economic spheres, regular monitoring of patients with long COVID is crucial. This study corroborates previous research findings and is notable for demonstrating the persistence of symptoms for over a year. Mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression, are closely related to physical symptoms, highlighting the need for holistic healthcare approaches.
